Laying the Foundation Stone of the Palmerston Hotel at Kilburn• Oa Saturday Lfternoon the ceremony of laying tl.e foundation stone of the Palmerston Hotel, situate et the junction of the Midland Railway with that of the Metropolitan and St. John's WTood line and the Hampstead and North Lo n d o n Railway. at the Edgware-road station of th e l atter , wee performed by Captain Donald Nicoll, on whose estate it is situate , in the presence of a large number of the gentry resident in the loeility. Amongst those on the ground were Lieut.-Colonel Whitehead, the com manding cffiaer ; the Rev. Wm. Charles Williams, chaplain ; Capts. Cameron, Goode, Gray, and other officers of the North Aliddlestx Rifit , s, of which corps Mr. Donald Nicoll has recently also become a captain ; Mr. S. Taylor, member of= the Metropo litan Board of Works, &c. The ceremony having been completed, Capt. DONALD NICOLL, in addreising the com pany, observed that, by means of railway communi cation, it was understood that the residents of that highly-respectable and dailyeincreasing metropoli tan outskirt district would, in the course of a short time, be enabled to reach the very heart . of the city of London, if the Lot hbnry side of the Bank of Eng land could be so called, in a period,of time not ex ceeding 17 minutee,and it had beetitlt by those who had entered upon the enterprise that at the point of junction of several important lines conncctieg with the great metropolis ample hotel accommoda tion was absolutely necessary. Although coming there to enjoy what he had contemplated would be rural retirement fur himself and his family, he had he said yielded to the desire for commercial specu lation, and had consented to give up his property for the erection of a neighbourhood on which 600 or 700 villa residences were to be erected, and which would no doubt, in the course of a few years, be one !of the finest in London. General McClellan's Chances. I suppose that most of my readers know that the candidates for the Presidency and Vico-Presidency are not voted for directly by the people, but that' each State chooses according to its population a certain number of electors, New York, for instance, -35, and Dslaware 3, who elect the President and Vice-President, and who form the body known as the Eectoral College. But as these inn] are always pledged to vote for certain candidates, it may be supposed that the result of the election is the same as if it were made by a direct vote of the people. Not so in one very important respect. For instance, in the election of 1860 Mr Lincoln had in the Elec toral College (which by the way never meets) 180 votes, Breckenridge 72 votes, Bell 39, and Doug las 12. Mr Lincoln's majority over all his oppo. vents was therefore very large, 57 in the Electoral College. But in the popular vote, although he had a small plurality over Douglas (the Democrat who, observe, received most votes from the people, yet least in the Electoral College), he was in a minority of nearly 1,000,000 as against all his opponents. This was caused by the division of the Demo cratic party, which had three candidates in the field. It is plain, then, that if the Demo-. cratic party can be united upon one man, Mr Lin coln will be defeated, unless a change has taken place in the convictions of a considerable proper. tion of that party. This its leaders deny, saying, on the contrary, that Mr Lincoln's Administration has alienated even those who first supported him. At the last election Mr Lincoln received 1,857,610 ballots, having from the States now under "Con federate" control not a single balot. Mr Lincoln's The Palmerston Hotel is situate at the entrance of the West End Park estate, from the eastward side of the Egdware-road, forming the corner of the road to be designated the " Palmerston-road," comprised of semi-detached villa residences, and upwards of a mile in length. The design is that of Mr J. Parker, the architect, and the lessee and builder is Mr E. Bannister. The hotel will have a very handsome stone front, on which will be emblazoned the noble premier's heraldic symbols. After the company had witnessed the ceremony they adjourned to a marquee on the West End Park estate, where an elegant dejouner was provided. Capt. Donald Nicoll presided, and Mr Parker, the architect, occupied the vice chair. The usual loyal toasts were proposed and duly responded to, and Lieut.-Col. Whitehead responded to the toast of the " Army, Navy, Militia, and Volunteers," the latter being also acknowledged by Capt. Cameron. The healths of the architect , the buil der and lessee, and s th om e e schaiiivrmerantrwowereel?wheinthprwophoicsh he had laid theed, and a very hand foundation stone, was presented to Captain Nicoll, bearing the following inscription—" Presented by Mr E. Bannister to Donald E lg., on laying the foundation stone of the Palmerston Hotel, on the West End Park estate, Sept. 24, 1864." The proceedings, which were enlivened by the excellent music of the band of the North Middlesex Belles, closed at an early hour. Smith and Co., 52, Lang-acre.

Oa classing the conscripts by departments, it appears that the number of exemptions for want of stature, from 1831 to 1860, have augmented in 19, and lessened in 63. This must indicate a gradual improvement in the nutrition and bodily develop ment of the population, consequent on the long term of peace and the lessened number of strong y oung men carried off from tLe population, M. Boudiu states that, from a study of the height of men in the departments, it is evident that race has a predominant influence, It appears from a table of the heights of the French . army i n 1861 an d 1862 that 15 per cent are be low 63m, that more than 50 per cunt are beeween 63 and 66in in heighf, 0.,, 0, per Cent above Sit Gin, and 7 per cent a bove 51t Sin.

The stature of the English army is taken from the Army Me dical report of 1860. In that year 1%5 per cent were below sft 3in, 49 per cent were between sft 3in and 51t Gin, 49 per cent were above 511 Gin, and 15 per cent were above Sit Sin.

But in ex amining present probabilities, it is obviously neces sary to subtract from this number the number of votes cast against Mr Lincoln in the States now in insurrection—Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. Upon a careful calculation I find that the number of ballots cast against Mr Lincoln is thus reduced to 2,095,298, leaving the majority against him on the popular vote i❑ the States now under control of our Government 237,681. If, then, the old Democratic party still holds together, and votes together, Mr Lincoln will surely be defeated at the coming election, even without the aid of the ten States which four years ago cast all their votes ag , inst him. But will the Democratic party hold together ? I think that it will to a very much greater degree than the new Union party are inclined to believe. A very heavy vote will he cast for General M'Clellan, and unless experience of this war has purged the commonweal and purified us more than I fear it has, there is a chance of his election, although, as you will see, a defection of 150,000 votes from the party will give the popular vote to Mr Lincoln. He must carry New York, or he will be defeated.—New York Correspondent of the Spectator. The Duke of Cambridge, on tho representation of the heads of the Royal Engineer corps, Chatham, has autho rised the establishment of an additional department at the Royal Engineer establishment by the formation of an architectural and estimating school, for the instruction of the officers and other members of the school in that important portion -of military engineering. The im portance of forming such a department has long been perceived by the instructing efficers at the headquarters of the Royal Engineer corps, now that the plans and specifi cations for nearly the whole of the Government buildings required to be erected in this country and the cohnies are prepared EV. the Royal Engineer establishment, and the con roc; estimates of the necessary outlay on each ascertained, The appointment of supe.int- ndent-instructor of the new school has been conferred on Lieut.-Col.

The squadron of vessels composing the sailing reserve in Chatham harbour having been inspected by the officials connected with the master shipwright's department and a confidential report forwarded to the Admiralty of the condition and probable value of each ship, a subsequent order from IVhitehall directs a number of the vessels, chiefly consisting of the smaller class of frigates and sloops, to be sold out of the service, their condition being such as to render them unfitted for further retention in the navy. The larger class of line of battle sailing ships and 50 gun frigates are not affected by the order, and it would, there fore, appear to be the intention of the Admiralty not to dis pose of that kind of vessels in case of their services being required as tenders or blockships, A most valuableinvention connected with the night signals for her Majesty's fleet has been tried in Sheerness Harbour during several nights of the past week, and will bo officially reported upon after further trial next week by the captains who have received instructions to investigate the invention. The invention is Lieut C. J. Browrigg, Flag Lieut to Sir C. Talbot, K.C.8., Commander in Chief at Sheerness, and the numerous advantages of his plan over those already in use will, it is believed, cause it to be at once adopted in the ser vice. Economy of time and money, together with quickness and certainty of action, are among the advantages of this plan, and it is also so simple that all who have yot seen it used have been surprised at the ease with which it is learnt. The dockyard craft belonging to Sheerness dockyard are to boar the blue ensigns, with anchor and badge of office, • instead of the red ensign, as heretofore, by order from the Admiralty. In consequence of the increase of the estabiiehment et Sheerness dockyard two now leading men of ehipwi ights have been appointed to the yard.

BERNE, Sept. 21. A lengthy report has been sent in by the Swiss Federal Council to tho Federal Assembly concern ing the election disturbances which recently took place at Geneva. After detailing the events already known, and stating the measures adopted by the Federal com missioners to restore tranquillity, the report refers as follows to the rumours of the riots having been occasioned by foreign influence: — As it had been ascertained that strangers were also con cerned in the occurrences of the 22d August, the Federal commissioners considered'it advisable to institute inquiries as to the surveillance over foreigners maintained by the police. Evidence was obtained that a considerable num ber of partially dangerous rabble was present, and that the management of the police leaves much to be wished for. It would be very desirable if an improvement could bo effected in this matter, which is still under the consideration of the commissioners. e must take this opportunity of alluding to the rumours which originated in Geneva, and have spread throughout Switzerland, that the occurrences of Aug. 22 were brought about by influence from abroad. We have, however, not discovered the slightest ground for any such supposition; and the rumour associated therewith—that French troops had been concentrated upon the frontier—has bean shown to be utterly incorrect. The rumour referred to may never theless have contributed to the step subsequently adopted by the French Government in the internisation of M. Fazy, who evaded the order of the Federal juge d instruction to appear before him by withdrawing to French territory. These are the most important points which have guided us in constant agreement with our commissioners. 'We are glad to be able to state here that as the Federal Council has throughout be( n unanimous in the resolutions it has adopted, it has always been its agreeable duty upun every occasion to approve and ratify the measures of its commissioners. The latter occupied a very difficult position amidst the excited factions, and it was not to be expected that they, any more than the Federal Counc:l, could escape various ex pressions of distrust. We consider it therefore incumbent upon us to state here publicly that these Federal officials have throughout eujoyed our fullest confidence. In the above we have communicated to you measures already belonging to the past, and with respect to which we only sr ek your approval. Regarding further action we are at present unable to recommend any steps, but must content ourselves with asking you for more extended powers. Although we hope that the Fede►al occupation will be speedily lessened, and in the sequel entirely with drawn, it would not be at present possible to give deflaite assurances to that efftct. Much will depend upon the result of the Fedoral investigation. We are of opinion that full scope must bo allowed to justice, in ordcr that a clear picture of the occurrences of the 22nd of August should be displayed to the entire Confederation at the ensuing assizes, which we think should be held at Geneva. Casting, finally, a comprehensive glance upon the whole matter, every Swiss must deeply lament the occurrences in Geneva, as in more than one respect sickly vagaries of democratic life. They contain, however, light as well as shadow. The events of Geneva have served to display our collective Federal institutions to all the greater advantage. It is a very gratifying fact that the mere announcement of impending Federal intervention caused factions in a state of the greatest excitement to cease from acts of violence. The Federal commissioners were received with undivided satisfaction, the Federal troops with rejoicing by both parties. Instead of the Confederates expected to celebrate a holiday, they came with a diff,rent and far more serious Mission. But their rapid appearance at the cry for help may rihrd Geneva proof how near is Federal aid is the time of need, and how it will not bo wanting in the hour of danger. The assembly 3f our troops in readiness ti match in the courtio of no more than 12 hours, with their 611 b (punt txcellent b:thaviotir, affirds favourable testimony to the condition of our moans of defenca and thy spirit of our The report concludes with a recommendation o the Council that the Federal Assembly shall adop the following resolutions:— 1. The steps taken by the Federal Council for the resto ration of order in Geneva are approved. 2. The Federal Council is empowered to allow the Fede rat commissioners and troops in occupation to remain at Geneva so long as circumstances require their presence. 3, The necessary credit for this purpose will be opened by the Federal Council. 4. The Federal Council is requested to lay a further re port op this matter before the Federal Assembly during the winter session. Wills and Bequests. Tf.e will of Lieut.• Col. Sir Edward Brackenbury, K.T.S., K.F M., C.8.A., of Skendleby Hall, near Spilsby, Lincolnshire, was proved in London on the 2d instant, the executors nominated being Captain Charles B. Brackenbury, Royal Artillery, the act ing executor, and William Garfit, Esq., banker, of Boston, who renounced the grant. The will bears date 1862, and there are three codicils, the last dated March, 1864. The gallant colonel distin guished himself, not only in British but in foreign service, end received the following orders :—Knight of the Portuguese Order of the Tower and Sword, Knight of the Spanish Order of St Ferdinand, Commander of the Portuguese Order of St Bento d'Avis, and Knight Bachelor of these realms. Sir Edward had retired from the Army, and held the office of Deputy Lieutenant for the county of Lincoln. He succeeded to his estates in 1828; was twice married, and died, on the Ist of June last, a widower, at the age of seventy-nine. His mansion and landed estates are entailed on his eldest son and issue; and, after leaving legacies to several of his relatives, to servants, and to the poor of his locality, he appoints his sons, Ed ward Fen wick Brackenbury, and Arthur Charles Brackenbury, residuary legatees of his per sonal property. The will of Joseph Vickers, Esq., of Park Villas, West, was proved, in London, under £lOO,OOO, the executors and trustees being Charles Vickers, E:q. (aie brother-in-law), and Henry B. Walmsley, Ezq. (his son-in-law). The will was executed the sth of February last, and a codicil, July 15, five days before his death. He bequeaths to his sons Edward and James, and to his son-in-law, Mr H. B. Walmsley, £20,000 each, and they are appointed residuary legatees. His son John mieceeded to the distillery busines , , some time since, estimated at £60,000. Tnere is an annuity to his son Beej amin Vickers, and legacies and some annuities to his grand children, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, and other relatives. The will of George Pondell, EA., of Lower Tooting, Surrey, was provul, in the I. , )iidon under £30,000 personalty. After mEking several liberal bequests (including legacies to the following institutions—viz., the Free Hospital, Gray's-inn road, £2,ooo—Royal Sea-bathing Infirmary, Mar. gate, 1:2,000; Blind School, Surrey, £500; and Royal Veterinary College, London, £1,000), he leaves the residue of ris property to his executor, for his own use absolutely.—illust , uteil London A'cws, Cripplegate Church—A Milton Memorial. The Church of St. Giles, Cripplegato, was re-opened ( . .n Sunday last for divine service, after being closed since July for further progress towards perfect restoration as a Nati,nal Monument to the poet Milton. The Vicar preached both morning and evening : the morning discourse was based on Psalm adj. : "It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, 0 Most High." After referring to the present noble appearance of the church as a gratifying evidence of its former stateliness, the preacher eloquently dilated upon the improved musical services of the Church of England by the introduction, or rather restoration, of choirs ; traciug with considerable ability the narrowed views of the Puri tans, and consequent careless and lifeless performance of one of the most elevating portions of Got','s service, that should speak to the heart and awaken our best feelings to the beauty of holiness, calling upon the congregation to join in the praises if God in his sanctuary. The choral service at Ctipplegate is purely congrega- • - tional, without any vocal difficulties , if we except anthems; it will be well, however, for those who are able to sing in time, to procure Mercer's Psalter, noted, in order that they may properly unite in their antiphonal verses, The present appearance of the church is truly grand, the whole of the fine columns and arches are now brought into it with striking effect, and call up pleasing memories of by-gone ages when our good old fathers were wont faithfully to preserve these temples of God, which Puritan zeal, and subsequent bad taste, have so cruelly mutilated. Most of the windows have also been restored, and filled with stained glass by parishioners. Colonel Wilson con tributed a handsome one last spring, and the daughter parish, St Luke, is now restoring the last window on the south side, as a tribute to her parent, and in honour of the memory of Milton. Public and local sympathy have done much, still much remains to be accomplished before the Church can claim to be a Milton Memorial; the plaster ceiling must give place to an open roof ; the present Grecian clerestory windows and chancel arch be restored ; the western entrance opened, and the fine tower window and arch brought back to the former grandeur. It is a gratifying reflection, however, that so much has been effected within two years, and that amongst the subscribers are to be found the aristocracy and men of all creeds. Some £2,000 will suffice to perfect the interior. What is so nobly begun then, let us hope will be wholly finished, that this Church the last resting-place of one whose work shall never die, ma bear as honourably on its walls the munificence of the living, as the virtues of the dead, and that offerings of piety and love to honour the memory of Milton will enable the pro moters of this grand national tribute fully to carry out their great purposo.--City Press.

A RAILWAY TRAIN LIFTED FROM THE LINE EY A TORNADO.—A railroad train recently on its way from Cincinnati to Chicago was blown from the track, at a point near Wirtnell's Bridge, 15 miles below Lawrence burgh, by one of the most terrific tornadoes that have over ' visited that section of the country. As the train ap proached the bridge the atmosphere seemed filled with branches of trees and missiles of various kinds which the wind had taken up to its path, and the engineer, thinking the hridge unsafe, increased the speed of the engine so as to reach the protection of the hills beyond. fie was too late, for the hurricane, restive in its energy, lifted the entire train into the air, and hurled the rear portion of it ver a steep bank, the baggage car, which was very heavily laden, being whirled diagonally across the track, and the tear of the first passenger car, still unoccupied, being sus pended over the precipice at the lido of the track. The train which happened to artivo et such an untimely mo ment, in the very focus of the wild nurricane, was heavily loaded with passengers, many of them being bound for the Chicago Convention—yet, strange to say, notwithstanding the increased speed with which the train was moving, and the height of the embankment down which the cars were hurled, not one person was killed. This may be considered a most miraculous escape, two of the cars having boon com pletely wrecked and jammed to pieces, the seats dislocated and shattered into fragments, and everything left in the most chaotic condition. From 30 to 40 persona were more or less injuted, and two ladies, names not known, probably fatally, one of them, it is thought, having suffered a disk,- cation of the opine,— Cincinnati Gazette. Circular of Senor Gonzalez Bravo. MADRID, Sept. 20. The official liadrid Gazette publishes the follow• ing circular of Senor Gorizalqz Bravo, the new Mi. nsister of the Interior, to the governors of the pro vinces Madrid, Sept. 19. Raised by her Majesty's confidence to the post of Minister of the Interior, I consider it indispensable to acquaint your excellency with the intentions and idols of the Government of which I form pirt, that you may well understand them yourself, and communicate them to your subordinates. Availing herself of the prerogative belonging to her by the terms of the consti►ution, the Queen has entrusted tho for mation of the existing Ministry to the Duke of Valentia, upon whose eminent importance and political views it is un necessary to dwell. It was natural and just that the Minis try with whose organisation he was entrusted should re spond in the most liberal manner to the well-known inten tions of the illustrious personage called upon to act as its president. The names of the present councillors of the Crown sufficiently testify in how far this object has been at tained without the necessity of entering into details which might in certain cases appear irreconcilable with the rigor ous and lofty obligations imposed by the Government of the State. The present Government is constituted, as I have said, by virtue of the free use of the constitutional prepga tive of the Queen.• It proposes to execute and to cause due respect to be paid to the political constitution and the laws of the monarchy by becoming acquainted with and exercis- ing them with juand enlightened moderation, and by gra dually developing them in the liberal spirit of the age in which we live, without forgetting the lessons of experience nor disregarding the significance of the circumstances by which we aro surrounded. The State in Spain is a constitutional monarchy. The members of the Ministry in office are, as they have always been, proud of the monarchical and constitutional State. Their intention is to govern while submitting with pleasure to the recognised rules of representative institutions. In order that these precepts may be legitimately applied, it is absolutely indispensable that the authority of the Go vernment and its agents shall possess the full plenitude and the full moral importance accorded them by virtue of these principles. The present Ministry thinks that every institu tion ought to operate with freedom and vigour within its respective limits. For this reason it desires that the liberty of action which has been placed in its hands shall be deve • loped energetically, and without obstacles following the im pulse of its will and the extension that shall spread—while impeding as little as possible—the legitimate progress of the institutions which it respects with sincerity, but without on that account renouncing by any means the use of its pro. per attributes. Maturity and prudence in its resolutions do not prevent, but on the contrary require, the rigorous ful fi'ment of what has been decided upon. The vigour and dignity of legitimate authority are the most solid guarantees of public freedom. In cases whole authority is in question, liberty and order are equally in danger. Anarchy is then inevitable. The above resitind shows, in a few words, that rho present Government dots nt)t come into power to satisfy the exag • gerated rcquircments of any party, whether by hastening anxiously to content them, or by humiliating itself before them with puerile timidity. In the eyes of the present Mi nistry legal order is not made up of dev,tees of this or that principle or system, but of Spanish eitiz.3ris worthy of re spect so long as they act within the limits of the law, but subkct to its jurisdiction without exception, without consi , deration, without hesitation of any kind, as soon as they violate its precepts. The accession to power et the present ' advisers of the Crown is, therefore, not the triumph of a flag nor the monopoly of places and official favours for the benefit or to the prejudice of any one. It is simply a poli tical. fact which t he royal conscience has believed it requisite to re alise, and this fact ought not to be misrepresente d b y p lacing its consequencts in contra diction with the spir i t and vvill at its origin.

SPAIN AND THE (211INCIIA ISLANDS.—A circular has been addressed by the Peruvian Minister for Foreign Affairs to the diplomatic agents of the Republic abroad, dated Lima, August 13, conveying the impression produced on the Peruvian Government by the announce ment by the late Cabinet of Madrid of its views with regard to the occupation of the Chincha Islands. " Previous in telligence" (says the circular) " had led to the belief that Spain would act as became a civilised nation, and that sho would at once disavow the insult offered by her representa tive, restore the property seized, and do everything in her power to repair the injury done. The speech of Senor Pacheco in the Senate has, however, dispelled this illusion; for while declaring that the Spanish Government recognises 1 the independence and sovereignty of the American States, and disavowing the principle of rovindication, he seeks in subsequent events the juetification of a prior outrage—viz , the seizure of the Chinches, and by so doing admits that Sfnor Salazar has been the cause of complications more seri ous than those he was commissioned to settles He refers to the strange history of the Spanish commissioner's voyage from Callao to Panama, speaks of tho attempt on his life as the undoubted act of Peruvian di izens, and as bsiag, in a ll probability, instigated by the Peruvian Govermuuut. That this is Senor Pacheco's belief may b 3 gathered tram his declaration that ' Spain will not feel satisfied upon this point until the Government of Peru shall have made it clear as noon-day that it had no hand in the attempts referred to.' Peru, says the dispatch, will never consent to ho thus placed upon its trial, to prove its innocence of accusations at once too puerile, and too monstrous to be discussed.. Serious as is the injury inflicted upan Peru by the outrage of the 14th of April, the stigma whi c h th e S pan i s h m i n i s t er has at tempted to fix upon the republic is much more so. But Peru better understands what is due to her owndignily and honour. She is Conscious of having acted in strict accord ance with her laws, and with the courtesy required of a civilised nation; and she cannot forget that she is a soves reign and independent etate, possessed of all the sigh's en- L joyed by other Powers.'': NEW BOYS' BOOK, BY SIR C.
